SOME CRITICAL REALITIES THE DISAFFECTED GROUP SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ALONG THE WAY

1.  WE MUST AT TIMES RESPECT “IMPERFECT” AUTHORITY, BECAUSE GOD WANTS US TO. THAT WAS THE BIBLE TEACHING BEFORE AND IT REMAINS INTACT.

2.  GOD AND CHRIST EXPECT TRUST IN THEM, SHOWN THROUGH PATIENT WAITING. (THIS GROUP DID NOT WAIT LONG ENOUGH, GIVEN OUR “SELF-CORRECTING” SYSTEM).

3.  CAUSING DIVISIONS AND CAUSING TURMOIL FOR HIS PRECIOUS PEOPLE IS SOMETHING ABHORRED BY GOD. (SCRIPTURES ABOUND)

4.  OUR SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES WORKS, WHEN PEOPLE WAIT FOR IT TO WORK AND HELP IT TO WORK.

5.  HUMAN NATURE WILL ACCOMPANY THE LEADERS OF THEIR ORGANIZATION AS WELL.  THEY HAVE “MUCH” BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS AHEAD OF THEM, BECAUSE OF HIDDEN MOTIVES, AN UNRELENTING HUMAN NATURE AND SATAN WHOSE VIBES THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE TO.

7.  IT WILL BE EASIER FOR MEMBERS TO LEAVE THEIR ORGANIZATION THE THIRD TIME AROUND, JUST LIKE IN DIVORCE.

8. THEIR MEMBERS AND MINISTERS “WILL” WITNESS INFIGHTING, INJUSTICES AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR IN “THEIR” ORGANIZATION AND MANY MAY NOT HESITATE TO LEAVE. IN FACT, SOME MEMBERS MAY THROW IN THE TOWEL, NOT JUST ON THE CHURCH OF GOD BUT ON GOD AND CHRIST AS WELL AND BECOME “UNBELIEVERS.”

9.  A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER WILL BECOME UPSET; THEY WILL LEAVE UCG; THEY WILL NOT JOIN THEIR GROUP AND WILL END UP, INSTEAD, IN THE HANDS OF ASPHYXIATING, DICTATORIAL GROUPS.

10. A NUMBER WILL STOP ATTENDING, PERIOD, AND GO NOWHERE, TO THEIR SPIRITUAL DETRIMENT.

11. IN THE NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE THEY MIGHT SEE A UCG WITH A NEW COE MOTORING ON AND THEY MIGHT THEN WONDER WHY THE NEED TO CAUSE SPIRITUAL DISUNITY; WHY THE NEED TO TRY TO PAINFULLY REINVENT THE WHEEL, WHEN THEY COULD HAVE WAITED "PATIENTLY" AND COULD HAVE USED A STRONG FOUNDATION TO REACH HUMANITY WITH GOD’S PRECIOUS GOOD NEWS, INSTEAD OF STARTING FROM SCRATCH AND UNNECESSARILY WASTING TIME AND RESOURCES.
